I really don't know what the problem is. I love serenity, I have always used serenity, and would like to continue to do so. However, I have failed in attempts to apply patches with serenity 3.2 over half a dozen times. In fact, a 3.2 patch has never worked for me. Everything seems to go all fine and dandy, but about 10 to 14 seconds remainnig (it says how much longer on the bottom of serenity), it just freezes on me. I have waited over 10 min. before, but still with no luck. Does anybody know what the problem may be? Has this been happening to anybody else?

as far as i know serenity only displays the seconds in which the patching was completed after the patch has been applied.
weird problems tho i would have no idea how to fix. re-install framework 2.0 maybe
